Shepherds Bible Revelation Chapter 19

Shepherds Bible Rev CHAPTER 19 19:1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and powers unto the Lord our God: # Notice that these voices are in the heavens, not the earth. Here are the saints that we read about in the 5th chapter of Revelation, which were already at the altar. In Greek, a better translation for much people would be My people. 2. F or true and righteous are His judgments; for He hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her for nication, a nd hath ave nged the blood o f His servants at her hand. # Here is the avenging which was called for by the saints in the 6th chapter. 3. And again they said, Alleluia, And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. # This smoke is the haze of deception, and it will be no more. 4. And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and wor-shipped God that sat on the throne! saying. Amen; Alleluia. # These are the same four beasts, that, properly translated, mean the cherubims. This is the last time they will be mentioned in the Bible. The elders have completed their work and are giv- ing praise. 5. And a voice came out of the throne, saying. Praise our God, all ye His servants, and ye that fear Him, both small and great. 6. And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. # These are the voices of many people, masses who have learned the truth. 7. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come. and His wife hath made herself ready. #Notice the word used here is wife, not widow, virgin, or bride, which were words used throughout Revelation to denote His wife. He has returned and claimed His own, the firstfruits, or elect, and they have become His wife again. 8. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. # Righteousness in the original text reads righteous acts. This explains how the wife in verse seven makes her-self ready. The fine linen in which she is arrayed is in fact the right-eous acts that she, the elect, accom-plished in the face of Satan. 9. And he saith unto me, Write, Bles-sed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. # Notice the word called. Matthew 22 tells us of the parable of those called to the wedding. That is what we are talking about in this verse. He sent out His servants with invitations to His wedding, but

no one came. The servants were killed. Then the king sent for his army and burned the city. What city? Babylon. Many that think they are called will be cast into darkness, because they have not the robe of righteous acts. Many are called, but few are chosen. Blessed are they which are. 10. And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, a nd o f thy br ethren that ha ve the test- imony of Jesus: worship God : for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prop hecy. # The spirit of prophecy is the word of truth spoken by the elect. Remember in Revelation 1:1, it says to show unto His servants. He intends for you to understand this revelation. Revelation means to reveal. 11. And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He doth judge and make war. #In the 6th chapter, there was another white horse and another rider, but that was the false Christ. Let there be no do ubt that this rider is Christ. 12. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns; and He had a name written, that no man knew, but He Himself. 13. And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called The Word of God. #Refer to Isaiah 63:3-4 and read: I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with Me: for I will tread them in Mine anger, and trample them in My fury; and their blood shall be spr inkled upo n My garments, And I will stain a ll My raiment. For the da y of ven- geance is in Mine heart, and the year of My redeemed is come. John 1:1 says, The Word was with God, and the Word was God. 14. And the armies which were in heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. #Caution! Satan riding a white horse, and his angels with him (Revelation 12:9) will come first. See you do not confuse it with this glorious occa-sion of Christs appearance! 15. And out of His mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and He treadeth the wine press of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. # He declares war and His weapon is the truth. See Psalms 14:2. 16. A nd He hath on His vesture and o n His thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. 17. And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the suppe r of the great God; 18. T hat ye may eat the flesh of kings, a nd t he flesh of captains, a nd the flesh of might y men, a nd the flesh of horses, a nd o f them that sit on the m, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

#We see here the white, red, black, and pale horses and their riders and all that helped, or were deceived by their lie. They shall receive their just reward. 19. And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him that sat on the horse, and against His army. # Here we see the false christ gather the world governments and its armies into one force to destroy Christ and His army. 20. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that wor-shipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. # Note, there are only two of them cast into the lake of fire. The beast system and the false christ (which came and said that he was Christ and stood in the Lambs place) were used by Yahveh to do His will. 21. And the remnant were slain with the sword o f Him that sat upo n the horse, which sword proceeded out of His mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh. # The words the remnant in the origin-al text read the rest. This verse should read, and the rest were slain with the sword. The last trumpet indeed has sounded. The KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS, now controls de facto heaven and earth. Alleluia; salvation, and glory and honor and power unto the Lord our God.
